Abstract: Socket 1155 motherboards like the Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 which are built around it offer up a mainstream suite of capabilities and a kitchen sink full o'features. The board
supports 2nd Generation Intel Core i3/i5/i7 2xxx-series socket LGA1155
processors - these CPUs are based on the Intel 'SandyBridge'
architecture which includes an integrated graphics core on the CPU

FEAR Motherboard Benchmarks

FEAR is
Sierra's latest first person shooter which relies heavily on DirectX 9 features.
With its "Soft Shadows" feature enabled, even the fastest videocards run at a
crawl, FEAR is definitely the new benchmark for future FPS games to
follow.

Again, the GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 motherboard has little influence on
this DX9 benchmark. At these levels the performance is almost entirely dictated
by the CPU and videocard.

IGP Motherboard Benchmarks

Since the Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 motherboard features
an on-board HDMI/DP/DVI/analog video ports PCSTATS is including IGP benchmarks
for the Intel HD 3000 graphics core compared to several other Intel and AMD IGP
graphics solutions. These results are usually rolled into the main benchmark
charts you've just seen, but with the recent release of the AMD A75 chipset and
Radeon HD 6550D IGP, it's worthwhile to see IGPs compared against themselves to
truly discover all that these mainstream integrated graphics motherboards have
to offer.

PCSTATS will be running through these pretty quickly
since the numbers are self explanatory. Let's begin with 3DMark....
